    The only reason threads dominate the front page(s) is they are popular. If posters want to post in such threads then why not allow them. If posters generally do not post in such threads they will quickly drop down and off the front page

    If it was the same 2 or 3 posters starting and dominating such threads there may be an argument to consolidate them. Looking at the forum at Present though, on the front page (with my settings) is one on Joe Biden (with something like 250 different posters contributing) , and another on a recent shooting )getting on for 150 different posters)

    It may well be that some of the top posters in such threads are the same, but it appears to me that these threads attract a wide variety of posters and indeed opinions

    I suggest that you go into the Biden thread and constuctively criticise his policies and you will quickly see that there is most certainly not a wide variety of opinions.

    Or better still, try going into the Trump thread and legitimately argue the case for Trump and see what sort of a welcome you get from the wide variety of opinioned posters.

    posting a gif of Tom Cruise laughing is not constructive criticism.
